Nicolas Padoy Assistant Research Professor Department of Computer Science Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD 21218, USA email: lastname@jhu.edu I recently moved to the University of Strasbourg/Image-guided Minimally Invasive Surgery Institute, France. Post-doc and intern positions in surgical activity modeling and analysis using a multi-sensor system are available.

===== Short Bio ===== Nicolas Padoy graduated with a Maîtrise in Computer Science from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon ([[http://www.ens-lyon.eu|ENS Lyon]]) in 2003 and with a Diploma in Computer Science from the Technische Universität München ([[http://www.tum.de/|TUM]]), Munich, in 2005. He completed his PhD jointly between the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures ([[http://campar.in.tum.de|CAMP]]) at TUM and the INRIA group [[http://magrit.loria.fr/index.en.html|MAGRIT]] in Nancy, under the supervision of Dr. Nassir Navab and Dr. Marie-Odile Berger. In September 2009, he became a postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratory for Computational Interactions and Robotics ([[https://cirl.lcsr.jhu.edu|CIRL]]) headed by Dr. Gregory Hager at the Johns Hopkins University ([[http://www.jhu.edu|JHU]]). Currently, he is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Computer Science of the Johns Hopkins University. ===== News ===== * (2012/07/09) Paper accepted at BMVC 2012 * (2012/03/22) Talk at German Aerospace Center (DLR), Munich, Germany * (2012/03/20) Talk at IRCAD, Strasbourg, France * (2012/02/13) The 3rd M2CAI workshop will be held at [[http://www.miccai2012.org|MICCAI]] in Nice in October 2012 * (2011/11/01) da Vinci-kinect hack featured in BBC Focus magazine * (2011/09/30) Talk at workshop on [[http://www.robotic.dlr.de/iros2011_workshop_safer_surgical|Methods for Safer Surgical Robotics Procedures]] * (2011/06/24) Paper accepted at IROS 2011 * (2011/05/19) Paper accepted at MICCAI 2011 * (2011/05/13) [[http://m2cai2011.inria.fr|CFP]] for the 2nd M2CAI workshop, to be held in Toronto in September 2011 * (2011/04/08) da Vinci-kinect hack shown in [[http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/culture/how-microsoft-kinnect-will-change-the-way-we-live/8513/|Need to Know]] on PBS television * (2011/03/08) da Vinci-kinect [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsY_A0kLh-g|video]] in the "top 10 robotic kinect hacks" of [[http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/diy/top-10-robotic-kinect-hacks|IEEE Spectrum]] * (2011/02/24) Talk at [[http://www.intuitivesurgical.com|Intuitive Surgical]], Sunnyvale, CA * (2011/01/24) Demo [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsY_A0kLh-g|video]]: da Vinci - Kinect pairing * (2011/01/07) Paper accepted at ICRA 2011 * (2011/01/05) Workshop proposal for ICRA 2011 accepted.
